How can I make the image size smaller on a button?

I have a button and I want image (.ico file) and text to exist on it. My problem is that I want button's height to be small, but I can't manage to "shrink" the image as much as I want to. The result is to have a piece of image visible on the button and not the hole image. At the image property the image size is fixed (48x48) and the option is grey so I can't change it. How can I make this image to be 16x16?

Try buttonname.BackgroundImageLayout = ImageLayout.Stretch; or change this property in designer.

If you are using DevExpress Simple Button, you should set BackgroundImageLayout = ImageLayout.Zoom and set backcolor of button to Transparent (from Appereance->Backcolor)

My solution was to use an ImageList control. You can define the size the images are to be displayed (e.g. I set the ImgageList ImageSize property to 16x16) and then set the button.ImageList and ImageIndex properties instead of the Image property.

I think if you use the Paint event of the Button you can draw any image in any size that you want. if it isn't possible to re-size the image you can do that in this way.
